Is Farcaster dead?

Or is it just that all the human conversations have moved to group chats?

this is a fascinating observation. even on farcaster where we perceive things to be more "private" are we collectively attempting to be even more "private" with our conversations right now?

wild. this makes so much sense. thank you for sharing your observations with me!

I think that's definitely true.  A reaction to a variety of forces - publicly speaking about certain topics is going to be dangerous, even on decentralized platforms where anyone, even the "bad" guys, can join and watch in.  But encrypted communication is still safe, so we'll likely congregate there more.  Gatekept Discord servers, Farcaster group chats.

But it's not just that - bots can't join group chats, so it's full human.  And even if you love AI, that human connection is still important.
